“Southbound
I-494 will be closing between I-694/94 in Maple Grove and I-394 in Minnetonka while
crews work in the median area,” MnDOT stated
in a release. All southbound I-494 ramps between I-694/94 and I-394 will be
closed as well.

Travelers will be detoured around the
closure by:

Eastbound
I-694/94

Southbound
Highway 16

Westbound I-394. The
westbound I-394 ramp to southbound I-494 will remain open during the detour.

The closure
is part of a two-year I-494
construction project that includes adding a third lane on I-494 between
Highway 55 and I-94/694, repairing pavement, and building a noise wall along
the interstate.
